I LANGLEYS mTOnT
To the Personal Attacks of Hop

Part They aro Playing In This
I District A Feeling Speech
John W Langley Republican
candidate for Congress in this
Tenth district is rapidly gaining
ground and his election seems
practically assured his oppo
nent P A Hopkins has become
personal in his speeches and has
taken Mr Langley to task about
his kinsfolk and his pica to them i
for their support and has also
touched him up and charged him
with taking care of his kin in a
political way and also of having a
postoflico established for his af
flicted father In order to show
tho reason for Hopkins unwar
ranted ridicule of Ilangle unwnrI
tires and his appeal for their suf
frages we give the following
factsJames
James Click tho grandfather of
Hon John W Langley dieda
few days ago at tho remarkable
ago of 106 years A short time
before his death ho signed the fol
lowing statement
lowingstntcmentTo
To My Kindred of All Political
Parties
I have watched with pride tho
career of my beloved grandson
John W Langley and his noble
efforts to educate himself and I
have been indignant at the perse
cution heaped upon him by those
who sought to break him down If
ho over runs again for Congress I
want all of my relatives to give
him their support I do not want
them to change their politics but
I want them to help him As a
Democrat who has voted that
i ticket for 85 years I make this as
my dying request of them

IIIJJb7everonetor more
than half of a century was known
throughout tho mountains as an
uncompromising Democrat Ho
often said that the only Republi
can votes ho ever cast were for
his kinsfolk In the Presidential
campaign of 189G although then
over one hundred years old ho
rode at the head of a Democratic
procession through Prestonsburg
and carried a large banner Ho
walked three miles nnd voted for
Bryan who afterwards hearing of
tho incident wroto him a personal
letter of thanks and congratula
tions
Mr Langley is deeply devoted
to the memory of his grandfather
and although strict Republican
religiously follows tho teachings
of the grandold man and votes
for his kinsfolk when the oppor
tunity presents In a speech a few
days ago replying to Hopkins
sneers and ridicule of his relatives
ho referred to them in a feeling
and touching manner as follows
Although Mr Hopkins is be
ing loyally supported by his Re
publican kinsfolk he seeks to ridi
cule my argument that my Demo
cratic kinsfolk ought to vote for
me I think it is n mans duty to
vote for his relatives regardless of
their politics or tho office they are
running for I have always done
so and I always will The other
day in an humble home up among
the hills of Morgan county I saw
Aunt Heckle Adkins grand
father Clicks only living sister
Although it is a Democratic house
hold she prayed for my success
I saw in her face the imago of my
sainted mother and 1 realized then
more fully if possible than I ever
did before the power of tho ties of
blood and I said to her I would
rather have that prayer than all
the speeches that could be made
for mo1 Mr Hopkins critciscs
mo for getting offices far my icla
tics My friends if you knew
the history of it all you would
not blame me When I was an
ambitious young man and it ap
peared likely that I would bo in
somebodys way the hand of per
secution was laid upon me My
father stood by me like a do
voted father should stand by his
son What he had accumulated
